Hi;
Unfortunately no experience with the cushcraft but a company in Canada is 
making an updated version of the old miniquad which was out in the 1980s. 
That antenna worked well for its size but wasn't very durable.  Supposedly 
the durability issues have been addressed.

Hi All,  Asking about the Cushcraft malty mini beam,  does anyone on the
group have experience of this type of beam?  how good are they?  what is the
S W R you've got using this type?  I have a very small garden size 17feet
6inches  wide and 35feet long so this why I'm looking at one of these.
